Thank you. With ECWD, how would I retrieve/query for a list of events? I was reading through but didn’t quite see how that could be done.

thank you!

thank you

actually I was able to do it by using a class on the hyperlink like this:

[wp_colorbox_media url="#inline_content" type="inline" hyperlink="More Info..." class="button"]

And the button class like this:

.button { padding:5px 15px; background:#dd6666; color:#fff; }

It works!

thank you. ??

thanks, that is great!

I’ll give that a try

Hmmm… so the standard WP way, using /?page_id=xx works out of the box.

I don’t need to configure WP to use pretty permalinks. I can keep WP just doing the normal /?page_id=xx.

The question is how do I configure nginx to point/translate “/mypage/” to /?page_id=xx?

I’m looking for a static mapping. Like for example

/mypage/ -> /?page_id=2

Not trying to do anything fancy, and keeping WP as default and only doing the translation at nginx.

Maybe I’m not quite getting this, or I have it backwards…

I want to be able to type in https://mydomain.com/mypage and have that mapped to https://mydomain.com/?page_id=xx

Right now if I configure WP to use the permalink like that, when I type in https://mydomain.com/mypage I get a file not found error.

As I understand it, I need to configure nginx to take a location request of /mypage/ and then translate it to the /?page_id=xx

thanks for your patience with my ignorance ??

Hi,

Actually I don’t want to remove the permalinks. I just want to understand how to “rewrite” them to a more readable format.

I want to keep the underlying ?page_id=xx but to the user, a more readable format.

So https://mydomain.com/mypage would translate to https://mydomain.com/?page_id=xx

I’m not trying to get rid of the permalink but just “reformat” it via nginx.

thank you

Hi Daniel

I forgot to mention, I am using this. This was working with another slider plugin, but with Meta Slider it isn’t.

I have an alt selector setup with the image of the slider in order to trigger the click open. This setting works on the other slideshow plugin I was using. But for some reason, Meta Slider only works if I use the CSS class – but has the side effect that even clicking on the navigation arrow, the popup goes up.

Anyway the same alt selector that is working with the Slideshows plugin doesn’t work with Meta Slider

Number of slides to fit into one slide 3

Maximum width. When maximum width is 0, maximum width is ignored 0

Proportional relationship between slideshow’s width and height (width:height) 5:1

Image behaviour Crop to fit

Shrink slideshow’s height when width shrinks Yes

Enable responsiveness (Shrink slideshow’s width when page’s width shrinks) Yes

Show title and description Yes

Hide description box, pop up when mouse hovers over No

Automatically slide to the next slide No

Return to the beginning of the slideshow after last slide Yes

Pause slideshow when mouse hovers over Yes

Activate navigation buttons Yes

Hide navigation buttons, show when mouse hovers over No

Activate pagination No

Activate control panel (play and pause button) No

Wait until the next slide has loaded before showing it Yes

Show a loading icon until the first slide appears Yes

Randomize slides No

Avoid content filter (disable if ‘!slideshow_deploy!’ is shown) Yes

that’s awesome feedback!

I will spend some time analyzing that… ??

thank you

Hi,

I don’t know what you mean about the URL in the plugin settings? I don’t see anything related to URL in the Slideshow plugin settings.

I do have the URL entered for the slide in the Edit Slideshow page (just above where it says “Open URL in [Same Window, New Window]

I activated the Twenty Fifteen theme, still the lightbox pops up with the image, not the URL I typed into the slide’s setting.

I think I will do a new install of WP to try this out. I don’t want to disable other plugins in case I lose my work.

thank you
